Celebrating the first 20 years of its existence, the modernist collection of Saint-Étienne's Métropole Museum is shown to advantage in this exhibition catalog's more than 150 color reproductions. Here are images of works by Kandinsky, Calder, Miró, Ernst, Schwitters, Dubuffet, and Klein; a generous survey of the postmodernist art of recent decades; and the Métropole's impressive holdings in photography and design. The text traces the museum's history, its raison d'ętre, and its carefully considered approach to building a cutting-edge collection.
